Part A: Extraction stage
1. Place a 125 mL separatory funnel in a ring stand equipped with a small ring.
2. Heat the hot plate.
3. Heat the water (20 mL of hot water is needed) to a boil by placing it on top of the hot plate.
2. To the 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, added two Tylenol (500 mg/ tablet)
3. Dissolved the solid by gently swirling the Erlenmeyer flask.
4. Let the solution cool for a few minutes (approximately till room temperature).
5. Add the mixture to the separatory funnel. -Make sure there was no leak.
5. Add acetone (15mL) to the separatory funnel and cap the funnel. Extracted the aqueous layer.
6. Allow the two phases to separate. Drain the acetone phase into a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask.
7. Re-extract the aqueous layer in the separatory funnel with a new portion of acetone (10mL). Swirl the phases together as described in step 5. Combined the second acetone extract with the first in the 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask. …show more content…
A heated plate, placed distilled water (60 mL, some of the water will be evaporated) to a 100 mL beaker. Brought the water to a boil and then carefully stick a thermometer in the boiling water. Subsequently, the temperature was noted. If the thermometer was not showing 100 ℃, the difference was added or subtracted from
